Seeing Lu Yizhi's expression, Miss Xiahou was also a little surprised.
"What's wrong?" She asked in confusion, and then explained to him, "Do you still remember the embroiderer at the Zhai family's birthday party? She stayed in the capital and opened a shop called Xucheng Linglongfang."
Lu Yizhi shook hands gently, as if thinking about it.
"That." He said.
But he didn't say whether he remembered it or not. He couldn't answer this question directly, he could only let Miss Xiahou experience it herself.
Miss Xiahou really smiled knowingly, don't you remember? It's not surprising that a young man would care about embroidery on clothes, let alone a little embroiderer.
She shouldn't have remembered either.
Although she admired the embroiderer's craftsmanship at that time, one surprise was not enough for her to remember.
It's just that this embroiderer has real skills and is not just a flash in the pan. She started a business in the capital.
"Her craftsmanship is very exquisite and she is very famous now," she said.
Looking at Lu Yizhi's slightly confused expression, this was the first time he had seen this young master look like this, which was quite interesting.
"Yizhi, you don't know this either, right?" she asked jokingly.
Lu Yizhi stroked the corner of his clothes and murmured, "I don't know."
…
…
Lu Rui didn't know whether she knew what Miss Xiahou and her brother were talking about, but she happily expressed that she liked whatever Sister Xiahou gave her.
Watching Miss Xiahou leave in the car, and then seeing Lu Yizhi also leaving, she quickly called her brother.
"Why are you going?" she asked, "Aren't you going to scold me at home today?"
Lu Yizhi has been staying at home these days, scolding her and staring at her.
"I'm going to Taixue." Lu Yizhi said, "Because of you, I've delayed a lot of my homework. Did you know? In October this year, His Majesty will hold a Gui-gui banquet to test the academic performance of our Taixue students. If we can be selected by the emperor, next year
You should be able to serve as an official."
Become an official. This is what the family has been waiting for. Lu Rui pressed her hand on her heart.
"Brother, you must be able to win the crown." she asked.
Lu Yizhi looked at her and said, "As long as you don't distract me from my studies, that's fine." He turned around and left, not forgetting to tell the servants to keep an eye on the young lady.
The servants responded yes.
Lu Rui patted her heart from behind, throwing such a huge accusation at her: "It's better to continue scolding me at home!"
The maid hurriedly advised her to listen to the young master and not to cause trouble. This is the capital, the young master’s future belongs to the Lu family, and so on. If the young lady runs out this time, she will be punished when she goes back, but as a young lady, no matter how much punishment she receives, it will be nothing more than hunger.
A few meals and grounding, but as a maid, it's miserable. The lightest punishment can be a rod punishment, and the most severe punishment can be selling.
She could only try her best to make amends for her mistakes, so that the Third Young Master could say a few kind words to her and save her small fortune and life.
At this moment, Lu Rui's expression was not at all as innocent and cute as in front of Miss Xiahou, with an impatient look on her face: "I know, I know." She frowned again, "Where did Sister Xiahou say she went to Xucheng Linglongfang to buy me a gift? Xucheng
, is it Xu Cheng from our side?"
The maid nodded: "Probably, it comes from a shop in Xucheng, otherwise the name of the place would not be put on the plaque."
Lu Rui pouted: "If there is anything available in Xucheng, if you want to prepare a gift, of course you should choose the best stuff in the capital."
Xu Cheng is in the same state and county as Yucheng. Should we say that Miss Xiahou has a heart or not?
That's all, a noble lady doesn't need to have a heart.
She doesn't care about this young lady's heart, she only cares about her status and the benefits it can bring.
"As long as she is happy, even if she gives me a piece of dirt, I will take it back as a treasure and offer it to her."
…
…
It was late at night, and there was still a light on in a room in Taixue.
Of course, it is common for imperial students to keep the lights on at night, but Mr. Lu rarely does this, and he never suffers from studying.
"What happened to the Third Young Master today?" A student came out to look for food when he was hungry after studying at night. He was surprised when he saw the lamp in Lu Yizhi's room and the figure sitting in front of the desk, "I thought he didn't have to study hard."
"No matter how talented a person is, he will be nervous when faced with gold and cinnamon." Another student whispered, hunching his shoulders and urging, "Go to the kitchen quickly, because it will be late and the stove fire will be extinguished, and it will be difficult to drink the hot soup.
.”
They are not like Lu Yizhi. Whenever they are hungry, they just say something and the fat cook from Taixue will immediately bring them delicious food.
"Since the Third Young Master came, the fat cook has become even fatter than before. He eats so much oil and water, of course he is diligent."
"I really envy the third young master. He has no worries about food and clothing and only needs to concentrate on his studies."
The two students laughed and whispered and left in a hurry.
Indoors, Lu Yizhi was sitting in front of the desk, his brows furrowed, as if he had encountered a difficult meaning in the scriptures, but there was no book in front of him.
"What's going on?" He raised his head and looked at the boy standing in front of him, "Didn't you say that the store's business is not good, and only some poor people with no money patronize it? How come Miss Xiahou is so famous that she wants to patronize it?"
The boy looked frightened and uneasy: "That's what we saw. It was all the poor men repairing boxes and making clothes with their own cloth. I really didn't see any rich ladies coming here."
Of course, they don't really stare at it every day, but when they take a look every once in a while, they only see a group of poor people waiting. People on the street say it's cheap, and some people say it's called small profits but quick turnover.
Let’s wait until the capital gains a firm footing.
No, this Ah Qi is not here to make money, but to stay in the capital and guard the young master.
Why did Miss Xiahou suddenly find out about it and still want to go there in person?
Could it be that this servant really took advantage of them and went to find Miss Xiahou?
Did Miss Xiahou already know about it? Did she deliberately say that she was going to tell the Third Young Master?
I wonder what the maid said to Miss Xiahou? Does Miss Xiahou dislike the young master?
The boy was also very flustered.
Lu Yizhi didn't hear Miss Xiahou's panic when she mentioned Linglongfang. He shook his head: "No, Miss Xiahou is a very direct person."
Such young ladies, who are well-read in poetry and often in high places, never need to hide their emotions.
If you really find out, you will tell him directly, question him or stop all contact with him.
"It seems that Ah Qi's craftsmanship is indeed famous," he said.
Miss Xiahou is very discerning, and if she is willing to patronize her, she must be really good at it.
The current situation is that Ah Qi didn't say anything, didn't come to him, and didn't make any trouble. He just relied on his reputation to get close to these noble ladies. In this way, he could advance, retreat, or defend.
Amazing.
This little girl does have some scheming intentions.
Well, if that's the case, then he should go and see her in person as she wishes.
…
…
After the expansion of Linglongfang, a room was added to the front that directly led to the workshop, which was used to entertain guests who repaired their furniture. Brother Guo was in charge of it.
It turns out that this place is used to entertain the female relatives, and Qing Pheasant is in charge.
Previously, due to the large number of customers who came to the door, the construction schedule was full. In addition to some ready-made small items, I only received the butterfly skirt that Miss Jiang San gave to her sister to celebrate her birthday.
Now that the workshop has been expanded and Dong Wei's family has brought several more craftsmen, the lady's time is freed up.
Although the front here is deserted now, but counting the time...
Qing Zhi stood at the door early in the morning and figured out that Miss Jiang's birthday was over, that she was going to become famous again, and that the house would be filled with customers.
She was thinking to herself when she saw a carriage slowly coming to a stop. The young man next to the carriage looked up at the plaque here.
The young master lowered his gaze and faced Qing Pheasant standing at the door.
Qing Zhi pinched his fingers and stung his flesh. He took a breath of cold air, turned around and ran in.
What bad luck, why is Master Lu here?
Recently I have been in Mr. Lu’s role, I don’t like to save or dance
